Hey all! sorry for being inactive as usual, i'm seeing about getting my ADD diagnosed so i can hopefully get on meds (which will mean i can function like a normal human being).
I've listed some more old stuff to sell on Etsy as i'm desperate for cash right now, and this'll make some room.
Some definitely interesting things i'm putting up there so keep an eye out as theres still some stuff i've yet to list.
Any help at all right now is really appreciated cause i'm struggling to get by right now and being able to eat would at the very least help.

I do want to apologise for being so vacant and not being able to work on commissions and updating the page. It's my fault really ive just been struggling with mental health and money.
Im gonna be using the money im getting from selling these props to hopefully get some meds that'll at the very least help me get on with things.
I have a massive amount of things i want to work on and have planned, but my dumb brain wont properly generate motivation so until i can sort these out its a struggle.
TL;DR, sorry. I really am working on sorting things out and being better, its just gonna take some money to sort out things.

Just to let people know that although im struggling with some personal issues that are making my foam commissions go along at a rather slow pace, i am open for raw 3D-Printing commissions.
Because i can just set those to print and then send them off when they're done, they are alot easier for me to do for people than my normal stuff.

20/09/2019

Sorry ive been gone for a bit!
I've been stressed out and very busy with commissions so i havent had much time to post. I'll likely post pictures of what ive been working on soonish, just want to get stuff done first before posting.
Quick question time, what do you guys think about me doing videos on stuff? You can all ask me stuff and i can do videos explaining things, showing you how to do things, and showing you how things work. Thoughts?

Gonna be lowering the price of him to 600 OBO.
This is putting me at a massive loss money wise but i REALLY need the money and the space (he takes up alot of room since i dont have a stand for him).
Collection only from Treforest, i dont have the ability to drop them off at all cause i cant drive.
Some parts have come off and warped a bit, but its easily fixable things that i can even do for you if you want when you collect it.

08/09/2019

Just gonna say it's gonna be £800 OBO, let me know if youre interested.

SALES POST
My spikey man, PM for price.
It's been a while with this guy, about a year and a half of space marine is in him. But i'm running out of space and want to move onto better (and maybe bigger?) projects.
He isn't in the most amazing of shapes, and will require a bit of internal work to get in wearable condition. I'll also be taking the platforms out of him as they were barely safe with me wearing them and id rather new safer ones get put in.
Really only looking to recuperate what i spent on materials, so it isnt a massive amount.
He will fill an entire car, so you will need either a large car to collect it or have to pay extra for it being dropped off.
It's sad to see him go, as ive got so many good memories with him, but i want to move on to improve my crafting ability whilst also letting him live on and give someone else good memories.

01/09/2019

I Definitely did not forget to upload this, but the Scout Marine template is up!
Im super busy with commissions right now so i cant make much progress on personal projects i want to do, but ive got alot that im looking to do soon!

And this is me on stage!
I was pretty exhausted at this point in the con, im not sure why but my body just really wasnt as up to the task as usual.
It's hard to tell from the outside but this is an extremely heavy and difficult to wear suit, and im STILL recovering and my muscles are in major pain just from one day of wearing it.
Plus, my arm did fall off. pretty embarrassing but i havent had to fix that in almost a year so alot of wear and tear there.
I was incredibly nervous, and almost fell over multiple times just from shaking, but i had fun and thats what is important.
I am sad i didnt win, but im also incredibly happy for those that did win and i hope they had a great time too!
That's the ramble over for me, but i do want to say that i feel like this is the last outing for the big guy atleast for some time. I need to move onto other things and its very clear to me that he's badly built and i NEED to do better. it's definitely gotten me feeling down so i need to improve.

Short little video that shows me walking at insomnia :D

I LOVE these photos!

25/08/2019

Im not gonna lie ALOT of this was rushed to get it ready for insomnia, and i only had time to wear it for about an hour before i had to get into the big guy!
I loved wearing it though, and although ive got quite a few things to do before i attempt to wear it again (maybe at the upcoming geekedfest?) im still pretty happy with the photos and how it looked!
That chainmail was hell though, 19KG of maille on my shoulders is somehow worse physically than my space marine.

13/08/2019

Currently in process of 3d printing an estus flask for insomnia while i wait for stuff to arrive for commissions!

10/08/2019

So im going to insomnia 65 in the big guy, but what do you guys think should i bring another costume so i can relax a bit more? ;)

05/08/2019

I have a new pattern coming to my shop soon!
seen a few people asking for this so i thought id make it while i had a spare minute.

01/08/2019

This. Just this. There is nothing else.
Yes, some people may start off with more natural talent than others BUT, its that pursued practice that gives you talent.

Anything that you are WILLING to practice you can do.
Thats all there is to it.

Be willing, practice and never not be making!

01/08/2019

yet another awesome shot!

FOAM SABINE HELMET FOR SALE
£40 +P&P or collection.
Another thing im getting rid of for space. Needs visor replacing (with a proper one, though black acetate or acetate with one way black vinyl will work perfectly) and a new antenna.
Otherwise an awesome piece, wearable but also good as a display piece.

01/08/2019

SOLD, BUT I CAN MAKE ANOTHER AS A COMMISSION!
FOAM HELLBOY RIGHT HAND OF DOOM FOR SALE.
£50 +P&P or collection
Need to clear out some space so putting this guy out there. One of my favourite things i've made, with posable fingers. Perfect for holding ci**rs or as a display piece.
Can be used as a cosplay prop, but might be a struggle with very large hands/arms.

Another super awesome photo of me, thank you!!

Here's a video of me interacting with some people!
ive got quite alot of videos to upload and photos so keep an eye out!

Here's the video of me at the championship!
Sadly, out of the 7 winners I wasn't one of them. But congrats to those who did win! There were some amazing cosplays from the contestants.

Here's the footage of my performance at the LFCC championship! Sadly there's was a cable at the start that was thick and I lost my balance on it and almost f...

27/07/2019

I'm at LFCC all weekend in the space marine, hopefully I can see some of you guys there especially at the championship!

Hi folks,
I may be away at London Film & Comic Con, but it seems the servants of Slaanesh are determined to follow me to the ends of the earth!*

The store is still open as usual though! My trusty relief staff will help with all of your hobby needs until I am back next Tuesday.

See you all soon!

*He also snarled to me that the legion will rise again, whatever that means.

out with the old, in with the new.

23/07/2019

So as we're getting closer to LFCC me and my mother have been working harder and harder on getting everything ready for a stomp about.
She's alot better at painting than me, so she;s doing an absolutely amazing job on the painting of the bone parts of my armour. This is the new right handed weapon ill be using (as the weight of the axe wasnt working for me), and im loving the look so far!
There's alot more photos coming in the coming days and ive already got some excited stuff to show you all but ill keep it until tomorrow to reveal ;)

21/07/2019

Man i'm absolutely speechless at how amazing you are, and im so happy to have an audience like this.
I've managed to book the hotel now, and i just need to sort out some other things for the con then ill be ready for everything. im still working on the commissions that have come through from this im just super busy and ive been tired alot cause im so stressed.
There's so many people that have donated too! I'm gonna see about sending people a print who have donated after i come back from LFCC, and im gonna do a big video (maybe a livestream we'll have to see as my phone sucks) thanking everyone who has donated.
Ill try and post more updates within the next few days as im working on alot with these commissions and upgrading my space marine.
anyways, again, thank you all so much it really means alot to me!

18/07/2019

So this isnt really a post i want to make, but im pretty desperate.
At the rate im currently at, i cant afford the LFCC UK Cosplay championships. Parking, travel, and hotel costs are absolutely insane and i simply just dont have the money for it.
Like i said, im desperate, and i really need the cash and only have about a week to make it.
So look, if you need something just printed in PLA, then im more than happy to do it and just charge for materials and a small hourly cost. If you need something relatively small made out of foam, then please let me know. As much as i want to focus all my time on getting the big guy finished 100% its completely pointless if i cant even AFFORD to go.
I dont want to make a begging post, its not a nice thing to see and i try my hardest to keep my page as focused on cosplay as i can.
But this is the only opportunity ive got really to get out there and try and prove that i can atleast do SOMETHING and im not totally useless. i dont have a job, i dont have an education, and this is all ive got. i need to try and make something out of this.
Im desperate enough to do pretty much anything at this point. Want a video of me in my enclave armour holding up a stupid photo? consider it done. Want a vid of me fortnite dancing in one of my cosplays? i can do it in like 10 minutes. Want a foam weapon from a game? im your gal.
I have a patreon and a kofi, but not only are those things slow to actually give you what youve earnt but id also rather actually give people something in return.
As far im concerned, everythings pretty much screwed for me if i dont atleast GO to the championships.
Again, im sorry for making this post but as i keep saying, im extremely desperate.
also the terrible thing ive drawn is a teaser as to what Furneus looks like now!
